Its the same with almost every other phone (bar perhaps the Touch Pro 2), and even the touchscreen keyboards. Drives me up the wall - ever since the Sony NZ90 which was a flawless organiser apart from the lack of the fifth row. I've never fully understood this. Yes, I know there are spacing and consequent engineering challenges on a keyboarded phone, but it strikes me as laughable when you're hearing stuff like 'x is coming out with a keyboarded phone for pro users'... who will in fact need number keys.
